Tourist Attraction.
P2063624.JPG
Looking at North Korea. The blue buildings are on the actual border - this is where the negotiations/meetings take (took) place
P2063616.JPG
This guy is totally dead first if North Korea decided to open fire
DSCN7013.JPG
He's probably turning around cuz he's annoyed with us and knows that if we piss the N Korean soldiers off, he's the one that's dying first
P2063627.JPG
Such a romantic pic with North Korea in the background. Look at that beautiful sky too. Breathtaking.

Guess he woke up and wanted to check out the crazy westerners
P2063613.JPG
This dude didn't make the slightest flinch the entire time we were in there. He stands on the border. I'm on the North Korea side.

S Korea look out point
P2063630.JPG
Behind all that dense fog is Propaganda Village (as it's called by S Korea and USA) or Paradise Village (as it's called by N Korea). Fake houses, Fake buildings, a massive flag pole with a flag that weighs over 600 lbs. For 6-12 hours a day there used to be a speaker blasting over to S Korea telling South Koreans to come live in Paradise Village and that everything is amazing in the North.

Bus station in Samcheok
P1253505.JPG
After the sea train (from Gangneung to Samcheok), we took a bus to Taebaek as we heard there was a killer ice sculpture festival going on. It also happens to be the highest city in Korea. And we went there on what may have been the coldest weekend.

9:30am-2pm. Everyday
Yep. This sums up my morning. Sohee is totally out of it. Jason is lost. Tobie is looking at John lovingly. John is thrilled to be in a picture. Katie and Noah are lovers. Sandra is the cutest. Min is up to no good. Justin is totally lost. Chris is even more lost. Hug is on his knees probably about to run away from the group, Jules is trying to look slim and hide behind Hugh but it's not working. And Simon's not even facing this direction.
Field Trip!
Noah, Katie, and Simon.

Pretty typical picture of Chris.

My 2:00-3:20 class. The highlight of my day. 2 fat boys and 6 adorable girls. James, Jules, Jane Tae, Flower, Annie, Sarah, Jane Lee, and Ashley. Best. Class. Ever.
Jane Lee
She's a little off sometimes but is totally the best dancer in the class.
Ashley
Showing off the wad of hair she pulled out of my head.
Ashley
I didn't know someone could have so much energy. She finally fell down from exhaustion.

Ashley tried to push Jules down the slide...
